Healthcare coordination and sharing of data is critical to improving wellness for all New Mexicans

NMHIC provides a statewide Health Information Exchange (HIE) that allows authorized healthcare professionals with patient consent to quickly access the patient’s history in one centralized record. An average person sees 18 different doctors in his or her lifetime, so it’s easy to see how vital patient history can get lost in the shuffle. This lack of data sharing reduces quality of care, increases cost and potentially puts lives at risk.
